These I feel ought to be done on every adult dog before being bred:
A very careful and thorough physical exam
Complete Blood Panel
Bile Acid Test
Brucellosis Test
And these are the Health certifications available. I'm always impressed when breeders officially clear their dogs for various health issues.
